>human mind is a wandering mind, and wandering mind is unhappy mind

Just came to mind, don't remember exactly where I heard it.

It's relevant to me because I have started to meditate.

Do you know why this quote bothers me?

This quote, I believe it to be true. Loneliness is the fate of all outstanding minds, indeed. It bothers me because I don't know if I am simply incompetence materialized, which has lead to loneliness, emotional volatility, and this unsettling feeling that deep deep down I'm just a sack of shit full of himself.

I believe I understand things more than most others do. I understand their behavior, it can be illogical at times. And I have also acted irrationally. It bothers me.

Sorry for being offtopic but, could you tell me how do you meditate? What technique, pose etc.

I try to meditate as well, and achieved some success, but I'm not sure if I do it right…

Hi guys sorry for saying schizotypal wasn't real, this is a year later and I realize now that it totally is because if it's interfering in someone's life then it's a problem clearly. I guess I was just angry that someone had it less severe than me, me having schizophrenia. That's pretty stupid though. Apologies to raven.

Not that guy. The usual way to start meditating is with breathing meditation for ten-twenty minutes - best to set an alarm. You can do it daily but depends if you can get yourself to do that.

There's a lot of guides on breathing meditation - you basically just concentrate on your breathing and how your body moves as you breath.

You can use guided meditation videos at the start, if you want; people often avoid it so they don't get dependant but it can be helpful to give you an idea on how to do it.

I had a pastebin that was pretty good. It suggested you count the breaths 1, 2, etc. and loop at 0, 1, 2, etc. I found I always kept counting and kept thinking about the numbers instead of the breathing.

It wasn't this one but this is all right. http://pastebin.com/RiztB70J

Position-wise, sitting is generally the general one but if you have back problems or something you can stand, walk or lie down. I can't remember where I read it but there's two measurements of difficulty. One is the physical side - so walking is the 'hardest' and lying is the 'easiest' - the other is the mental difficulty, where walking is the easiest and lying is the hardest. Sitting is in the middle of both. I lie down because I'm lazy.

>find meaning

>set and review your major life goals

I need a chart on how to do that.

That's a neat chart either way.

“A man isn't tiny or giant enough to defeat anything - Yukio Mishima.

This the shortest quote I know that I like. Generally the quotes I like are really long.
